Abstract

Traditional medicine has deep historical linkages and cultural roots. In a rural community, it is practice based on the ethnological, medical and heritage of the practitioners. Temiar indigenous tribe of Orang Asli in Kelantan, have their traditional way of beliefs and healing practices. This study examines the remedies using medicinal plants and herbs among the tribe members in Kampung Pasik, Kelantan, Malaysia. A structured questionnaire and in-depth interviews were conducted with 250 respondents. A total of 18 species of medicinal plants was recorded preferably used by the tribes. Results indicate that traditional phytoremedies practices play an important role in helping their healthcare system with the help of the tribe healers. Cultivated medicinal plant species represent 94% of the source, whereas 4.4% were found wild in the forest and 1.6% grown around their settlement. This study revealed that five preparations methods such as boiling (27.56%), pounded (27.45%), squeeze (21.60%), drying (14.17%) or concoction of various part of medicinal plants (9.22%). The most applied were by drinking (35.29%), chewing (32.70%) and 19.89% rubbing, poultice (6.40%) and shower ingredients (5.72%).

Abstract

Razali N, Ismail MH, Kamarudin N, Zaki PH. 2014. Effect of skid trails on the regeneration of commercial tree species at Balah Forest Reserve, Kelantan, Malaysia. Biodiversitas 15:240-244. Skidding operation has been reported as one of the factor to forest soildegradation and vegetation disturbance. Assessing tree regeneration by the effect of the skid trail from harvest operation is important todetermine the recovery rate of the forest stand. A study was conducted to accomplish the following objectives, (i) to measure the treeregeneration rates at different distance from skid trails, and (ii) to evaluate the dominance and species diversity of regenerated trees. Atotal of five plots with size of 50 m by 2 m were established in two skid trails of natural forest that has been logged in 2012. Each plotcontains five sub-plots of 2 m by 2 m in different locations namely skid track, edge and forest. The number of seedlings and saplings,species richness and diversity, and dominance regeneration were analyzed. Results showed that the number of species regeneration wasnot significantly different in both skid trails. For skid trail 1 the number of seedling and saplings was highest on skid trail tracks (meanspecies diversity = 0.45). Meanwhile skid trail 2 showed the greatest species regeneration at edges (mean species diversity =0.65).Frequency value for Elateriospermum tapos was high due to the existence of mother tree in the area that provides a great number ofseedlings. The dominance regeneration in both skid trails originated from non-dipterocarp families. There were 42 non-dipterocarp seedling and saplings in skid trail 1, and 182 in skid trail 2. While only 2 dipterocarp seedling and saplings in skid trail 1, and 8 in skid trail 2. Enrichment planting is suggested as dipterocarp species have low growth rate compared to the non dipterocarp species.
